Armipotent

Chapter 641 - Necromastery

Tang Shaoyang followed Zowenʼs advice to use the skill [Demonification]. He thought the skill used to transform him into a demon, but it did not work. He soon found out why the skill did not work.

[You need a target to activate [Demonification]]

Tang Shaoyang quickly realized that [Demonification] was not turning himself into a demon, but the others. It was turning others into a demon and establishing a demonic army, that did not sound bad, at all. The demon was born with high attributes, at least, higher than humans.

—I donʼt think you can do that, My Lord. The newborn demon needs a better environment to grow stronger. Different from you, the demon canʼt convert mana into Demonic Energy. They need to live in a territory with Demonic Energy, or their growth will be stuck.

Seemingly able to read Tang Shaoyangʼs mind, Zaneos voiced his thoughts about the plan to turn others into the demon.

”Then what about you and Orlean? Letʼs say that I can resurrect you with my skill. Does that mean we have to look for a specific territory for you to live in?” Tang Shaoyang realized that he could not just resurrect the demon even if he wanted to.

—Of course, we are different from the newborn, Master. The high-ranking demon could turn mana into Demonic Energy, so we donʼt need a specific environment to live in. You can be at ease with that.

”So I canʼt use the [Demonification] without a target, letʼs try [Necromastery]. Do you guys know what this skill does?” Tang Shaoyang had no idea what this skill did, so he tried Demonification. But it turned out that the Demonification was not the skill he thought about.

—You have a subordinate that has a similar skill to Necromastery, My Lord.

Tang Shaoyang was surprised when Zaneos said that. ”Do I?” He tried to recall, but he did not know all his subordinatesʼ classes.

—Yu Shun, My Lord. Necromastery is similar to Yu Shunʼs skill. In fact, it is similar to your Epic Summoning too, but Necromastery is summoning Undead instead of a Spirit. Aside from that, I donʼt know much about Necromastery.

Zaneos responded with an explanation that was easy to understand by his Lord. Indeed, Tang Shaoyang immediately grasped what this Necromastery was.

”Letʼs try to use it then.” Tang Shaoayng activated [Necromastery], instead of activating the skill, he received a notification from the System.

[You need five souls to summon a Skeleton!]

[You have unlocked Soul Counter!]

[Soul Counter is the soul you harvested from killing a living being. A stronger soul can be used to summon a stronger Skeleton!]

[Note: To gain soul, you have to kill the living with your hand, and your summonsʼ kills will not earn you a soul!]

Then a window appeared in front of him, showing how many souls he had. But the thing that attracted him the most was the skeleton thing. ”I thought Necromastery would summon an Undead. Why is it a skeleton?”

—Skeleton is Undead

The answer to that was simple. Just like a Zombie, Skeleton was also Undead. Zombie and Skeleton were two of many types of Undead.

”I see, so I need to kill five people to get five souls so we can try Necromastery. But where do I find these five people?” Tang Shaoyang muttered in a low voice. He could not kill the people around him as they were his people. If he did that, he would lose their trust for killing them just to test his new skill.

As Tang Shaoyang was thinking about getting the five souls, he heard steps. The steps were still far from the house, but he could tell the steps were coming toward his dwelling from the rhythm and direction. ”Why is he in a hurry? Do The Elven and The Moonlight Tribe decide to fight me?”

Around thirty fifty seconds later, he heard knocks from the door. He got up and was about to open the door, but Rosalie saved him from the embarrassment.

—What are you doing? You are still naked!

The Flame Empress was saying to the point, almost screaming. His hand that was about to reach the door handle stopped midair as he looked down. The erected Little Shaoyang was baring its greatness toward the door. ”You saved my life.” Tang Shaoyang thanked the Flame Empress.

—Whatever, just wear anything!

Tang Shaoyang shrugged and called out. ”Who is it?” He knew that the one behind the door was Aki, but he asked anyway.

”The Elven and The Moonlight Tribe have sent their envoy to talk with us, My Lord. They want to meet you.” Aki spoke from outside the door.

”They want to meet me?” Tang Shaoyang rubbed his chin. He was not expecting that those two forces would give their reply this fast. ”Does that mean they agree to surrender?”

”Yes, they agree to surrender, but they have a condition and want to meet you, only you.” Akiʼs excited voice rang once again. The Rat Beastmen was so excited as he did not expect that his Lord managed to conquer the entire forest within less than two months. It was normal for him to be this excited. On top of that, he was appointed with a high position, even though many were stronger than him.

ʼThey agree to surrender, but they have a condition.ʼ Tang Shaoyang rubbed his chin. ʼLetʼs talk with them. Solving a few days of the problem by talking for minutes is quite good. This way, I can conquer the whole forest quicker. But I canʼt let them meet me so fast.ʼ He smirked as a plan formed in his head.

”Let Marshal Alton entertain them first. I will meet them in half an hour.” Tang Shaoyang stretched out and walked back to the table. ʼShould I send Kalliyang too? Nah, that might be too much for them…ʼ He smiled evilly.
